Making Myths and Policing Borders: Naasr and the Critical Study of Religion
This essay examines the evolving relationship between NAASR and the AAR, paying special attention to how the borders between NAASR and the AAR have been established and how they are patrolled. It discusses the stakes of the territorial dispute between the two organizations: symbolic capital in the form of institutional and intellectual prestige; and economic capital in the form of employment as teachers and researchers in colleges, universities, …
Clementine, Pseudo‐
Pseudo‐Clementine literature, a corpus of pseudonymous ancient Christian texts important for the study of Jewish Christianity in Late Antiquity, is organized around a narrative of the life story of Clement of Rome.
Astrology in the Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions
The Pseudo-Clementines contain a lengthy debate about astrology that stands in some literary relationship to Bardaisan's writings. Connections with earlier works are important, but the Recognitions' fourth-century Syrian context – much neglected by earlier scholarship – reveals why it devotes such a large amount of narrative space to a dialogue about astrology, fate and free will. This article argues that such material is more than just a remnant…
Knowledge and Religious Authority in the Pseudo-Clementines: Situating the 'Recognitions' in Fourth Century Syria
The Pseudo-Clementines are best known for preserving early »Jewish Christian« traditions, but have not been appreciated as a resource for understanding the struggles over identity and orthodoxy among fourth-century Christians, Jews, and pagans.

These strategies discredit the knowledge of philosophers and astrologers, and …
Philosophy as Training for Death: Reading the Ancient Christian Martyr Acts as Spiritual Exercises
In recent years several notable studies-including those by Judith Perkins, Daniel Boyarin, and Elizabeth Castelli-have assessed the importance of martyrdom and suffering in constructions of ancient Christian identity. This essay takes as its starting point the observation by Perkins that in early Christian communities, the threat of suffering (whether real or perceived) worked to create a particular kind of self. In Perkins's view, many ancient C…
The Cosmopolitan Expression of Josephus's Prophetic Perspective in the Jewish War
Many controversial issues surround the life and work of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, but the question of his dual relationship to the Jewish community and the Roman imperial establishment has been especially contentious. Should Josephus be considered a loyal Jew, or was he a turncoat and a coward who abandoned his people for the sake of a luxurious life in the Flavian imperial court? Josephus's early and late works alike reveal that he …
